I love them. Green Lantern sent coke down my nose.
Unfortunately, when I've pointed this stuff out to male comic-reading friends (granted, they were 19 at the time), they grinned & said, "So? I don't care!". Effectively, they were getting what they wanted, so why should they care if female readers were being short-changed and objectified?
